Respect Palestinian self-determination, seek diplomatic path to peace

To: Pres. Trump

From: A verified voter in Layton, UT

February 5

The situation in Gaza is a complex humanitarian crisis with deep historical roots. While the desire to redevelop and improve conditions in Gaza is understandable, forcibly resettling Palestinians elsewhere and taking over the territory would be a highly unethical and illegal move that violates the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. Such actions could further destabilize the region and inflame existing tensions. A far better approach would be to meaningfully engage with Palestinian leadership and the international community to seek a just and peaceful resolution that respects Palestinian rights and addresses the core issues driving the conflict, such as the ongoing occupation, settlement expansion, and the denial of basic freedoms and dignity for Palestinians. Prioritizing human rights, upholding international law, and supporting Palestinian self-governance over Gaza and the broader territories is crucial for any sustainable solution. I urge reconsidering this proposed policy of forced displacement and territorial seizure, and instead focusing efforts on facilitating an end to the occupation, lifting the blockade on Gaza, and allowing Palestinians to freely determine their own future through inclusive negotiations aimed at a viable two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders. Only such an approach can hope to bring lasting peace, justice and prosperity to all peoples of the region.
